Chapter 410: A Small Boat as Steady as a Mountain
Before everyone entered the underworld, Bai Wuchang tied a straw on everyone's wrist.
Don't underestimate this straw. It extracts the soul and spirit of each person and imprisons them in the spiritual path and divine gate between the wrists, so that they will not be affected by the energy of the underworld.
However, Ophiopogon japonicus could not withstand the aura of the Netherworld. Moreover, his foundation had already been injured and his consciousness had been damaged, so he was so weak. If he stayed there for too long, his life would be in danger.
However, Liu Lan had no previous cultivation and had spent a lot of energy on the Qimen Fragrance Technique. If she continued to follow, she would be a burden.
Therefore, the group decided that Lian Qiao would take care of the two and take them away from the underworld.
The two door gods Shentu and Yulei were easy to talk to. They agreed to everyone's request and opened the Ghost Gate, but Lianqiao refused to do so.
Lian Qiao came here to rescue Ling Xiang, and after learning that Ban Xia's soul might be in the underworld, he became even more reluctant to leave.
Zhao Wuyang was clearly the youngest, Adao was also a child, and Zhanli looked young, so why was she the only one to go? Was it because they took care of her because she was a girl?
After all, she had fought against the demons before, so who was she looking down on?
Lian Qiao was spoiled since she was a child. When the eldest daughter got angry, no one could stop her. Fortunately, the eldest daughter of the Liu family was there. After persuading her with emotion and reason, Lian Qiao reluctantly accepted her proposal.
"We all want to save people, so we should save as many as we can. Besides, they are both women, so it would be more convenient for both of us if we entrust Maidong to her. Can we really expect these stinky men to take good care of her?"
This was indeed reasonable. Lian Qiao agreed with it deeply. She glanced at everyone with disdain, especially Liu Xia, and then agreed.
After watching Lian Qiao and the other two step into the Ghost Gate, the group set off. It didn't take long before they arrived at the ferry.
There was a boat floating at the ferry, and an old man was lying on the boat, his face covered by a straw hat, a leaf from somewhere was in his mouth, and he was swinging his legs, looking very comfortable.
Sang Mu, Zhan Li and other three knew this person. They had relied on his magical powers to cross the river before, but Long Qi and the others did not recognize him.
But even though they didn't know each other, they didn't dare to be rude.
On the way, Sang Mu said that if you want to go to the Magic City, you have to cross the river no matter what, and the only way to cross the river is to take a ferry.
Moreover, they knew very well that anyone who could be so leisurely in the netherworld was definitely not an ordinary person!
Sang Mu stepped forward, bowed, called the old man "senior", and explained his purpose, but the old man did not move at all. If he had not been swinging his crossed legs, everyone would have thought he was asleep.
Long Qi frowned slightly and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Chi Yanzi. He turned around and saw Chi Yanzi shaking his head at him and making a gesture to keep quiet, so he endured it.
The old man raised his hat mischievously, revealing only one eye. He glanced at everyone sharply, then covered his hat again.
"The clouds drift by the wind and drift into the deep water; the bright moon shines over the cold pond."
What's so irrelevant?
There was an inexplicable burst of sour words, which left the group confused, but Sang Mu understood it.
Not only Sang Mu, but also Bo Luohui.
"It seems that I can only stop here..."
"What do you mean?"
Long Qi was puzzled, and everyone else was also confused. They all looked at Bo Luohui, but saw that he looked relieved.
"We are all from the same school. Although we have only a superficial acquaintance, it can be considered as an encounter. Now that our fate has ended, it is time to part ways."
"Separate? Where are you going?" Adao asked, blinking and looking up.
Bo Luohui smiled and ruffled Adao's hair: "I originally wanted to add some strength to finish it, but it was just wishful thinking in the end."
After hearing this, how could Long Qi not understand?
Earlier, when they were in front of the Ghost Gate, Long Qi had doubts in his heart. They needed Bai Wuchang's straw to enter the underworld safely, but Bo Luohui could walk on the underworld as if it were flat ground. This did not make sense.
Now it seems that what Long Qi thought was true: if he could be so relaxed in the underworld, he must have been dead a long time ago.
After figuring this out, Long Qi closed his eyes and turned his head away.
Although the two of them didn't know each other much, they were still fellow disciples after all. It was really hard to face such a thing. "I have let go of my worries. This trip to the human world was worthwhile. I just hope that everything goes well for you all." Bo Luohui looked relieved: "If we are destined to be together, we will see each other in the next life."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bo Luohui's body shattered into powder and flew towards Fengdu with the cold wind of the underworld.
He is going to reincarnate...
Everyone felt disappointed, but the old man lying down sat up, counted the remaining people, and smacked his lips.
"There are nine rebukes, but are we going to cross the river now?"
Hearing this, Xinyi lowered her brows: Sure enough, there is someone coming, but who is it?
Long Qi collected his thoughts and looked at the old man, not understanding what he was saying.
Rebuker? What does that mean?
and……
"Old man, I'm not saying anything, but with so many people, your small boat..." Looking at the slender boat like a willow leaf, Long Qi couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Can it carry it?
The old man smiled and said, "Young Taoist, are you doubting me?"
After hearing this, Long Qi hurriedly said that he didn't dare, but he still had doubts in his heart, and the old man joked:
"It's okay, you don't believe it anyway."
Long Qi touched his nose awkwardly, but heard the old man say:
"Don't underestimate this little boat of mine. Even if it is carrying 100,000 divine soldiers from the upper realm, it can easily carry them."
"Eh?!"
Long Qi exclaimed, and Zhao Wuyang and Adao behind him also poked their heads out in surprise.
"Old senior, please don't look down on us because we are young. How can this small boat carry 100,000 heavenly soldiers?"
The old man smiled kindly and said, "Little kid, why don't you give it a try?"
There was nothing wrong with Adao after all he and Zhanli had "secretly" ridden on this boat before. However, he suspected the old man was bragging but had no evidence, so he could only pretend to look up and curl his lips casually but said nothing.
Zhao Wuyang was a little hesitant when he heard this. He glanced at Xinyi who was standing beside him and saw the latter nodded. He then hesitantly said, "Then I will dare to give it a try?"
The old man smiled and took a sip of wine, tilted his head playfully, and motioned Zhao Wuyang to get on board.
Zhao Wuyang was raised in the City Lord's Mansion since he was a child. He had never seen a river or a mountain, let alone any water. Naturally, he was very afraid of water, but seeing the old man like this, he had no choice but to go ahead.
Although it was a river, it was calm and still, like stagnant water, and the boat was motionless. Zhao Wuyang felt strange when he saw this, but he did not stop.
Zhao Wuyang tried to step one foot in, but the boat was as motionless as if it was welded. When he put both feet firmly on the boat, it was as if he was walking on flat ground, without any shaking as he had imagined.
"what?"
Zhao Wuyang jumped in surprise, but the boat was still as solid as a rock, as if it was standing on the ground.
This……
Is this reasonable?
As for the people on the shore, except for Sang Mu, Zhan Li and Adao who had been on the boat, everyone else was also dumbfounded.
This……
Is this appropriate?
